2009 H1N1 swine flu virus, TEM
H1N1 swine flu virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of swine influenza (flu) virus particles (virions) from the April 2009 outbreak, which originated in Mexico City, Mexico. Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses. This H1N1 strain also contains genetic material from bird and human influenza viruses and is able to spread from human to human. These characteristics give the virus potential to cause a pandemic. Symptoms are similar to those of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. It can be fatal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 2009 H1N1 swine flu virus, a formidable pathogen that caused widespread concern during its outbreak. Taken using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), this colored image reveals the intricate structure of swine influenza virus particles, or virions. Originating in Mexico City, Mexico in April 2009, this strain of swine flu is not only contagious among pigs but also possesses genetic material from bird and human influenza viruses. This unique combination enables it to spread rapidly from human to human, raising concerns about its potential to trigger a global pandemic. Symptoms of this deadly variant are similar to those of regular human flu: fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. However, what sets it apart is its ability to be fatal. The photograph serves as a reminder of the severity and danger associated with infectious diseases like H1N1. With vibrant colors highlighting key features of the virus particle's structure and composition against a black background achieved through negative staining techniques; this image offers valuable insights into the biology and medicine behind such pathogens. It represents an important contribution to epidemiology research as scientists strive to understand these microorganisms better and develop effective countermeasures against them. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in medical history with their stunning representation of the H1N1 swine flu virus – an emblematic image that symbolizes both our ongoing battle against infectious diseases and our relentless pursuit for scientific knowledge in the 21st century.
